Production wise, Bloom beats them all out. In other areas, I'm not sold. My order, if you include all four, are Peer > Mancini (much-needed D) > Bloom > Maillet.

Big trades for Flint and Sarnia. Their selling so the Spits should follow suit
Let's hope there are teams who are flushed with picks in the need of what the Spits have to offer. If not can we thank Juggy???

Bloom's value would not be an upgrade on any of the 3 OA's that the Spits have now. Mancini is our top D. Peer is top 10 scoring in the league and Bloom will not contribute at that pace on the Spits ( he might on Saginaw) . Maillet is our best face-off center that plays top PK and 1st line as well as first line PP. Now Bloom on the Spits would be first line and first line PP. He would not be first line PK or a top face off guy. He would not be an upgrade for the Spits.
Now this is not saying he is a bad player or will not help Saginaw. he would not help to " improve" the Spits because subtraction would be required.
Hope this explains my point? Be safe.

We’re good. I understand that the Spits wouldn’t move any of the 3 for Bloom. If I’m a contender looking for an OA though? I pay more for Bloom than any of the 3 unless I need a D. I think he could out produce Peer and brings more to the table. Remember Bloom had 7 SHG a couple seasons ago and there’s a reason he’s played in the AHL this year and the Spits OA’s will be playing USports next year. I’m not a fan of Saginaw at all or the Spits either but I’ve seen a lot of all them.
At the same time, had he done well at it, he wouldn’t be back in Saginaw
I’m sure he’ll excel at the OHL, but looking at the numbers he wasn’t exactly impressive in the ECHL either
The way I see it, is IF we make the playoffs, we can’t do worse than last year lol

My take on the line-up. Looks as if nothing is close trade wise. If it were there are players who would be sitting out.
I agree with these points, and I know I contributed but let’s move on. Spits are NOT dealing an OA for Bloom in a year we sit 10th.
I’m hoping Saginaw wins the memorial cup, I’ll likely be there for the week, and unless they’re up against windsor, I’m here rooting for Dionicio and Christopoulos to get success. Saginaws building a good team, and Misa & Parekh would be nice additions if we’re ever to build around an 06’ draft group.
Winnable game, I think Eries still mad about 2017. Pretty sure they force the new guys to watch that video before every game Windsor visits for.

They are all on the road trip so If anything happens it will be Monday to Wednesday.
Struthers will need to get used to hockey.
Been scratched so long
Bowler phone on??
I’m not opposed at all to given Castle & Struthers chances here.
Weird to see Struthers get in before Castle IMO.
Struthers 1A in 13GP
Martin 1G 1A 28GP
Castle 2G 5A 19GP
Smith 5G 4A 35GP
I get rotating Martin out, for Struthers. But Smith should be rotated out for Castle too if that’s the way we’re going. I’m not high on castle, but I’d bet money on him out producing Colton Smith.
Peer, Maillet, Davis and Smith are the only ones that have played all 35, I wonder if they have some goofy, let him play every game thing going on with smith since he’s halfway there.

Castle absence in games remains a mystery. Something going on we don't publicly know about. Conflict with HC, GM or personal issue has to be considered.
Windsor should have done what's best for him by now. He should have had the ability to play on another team.
Bad management..

He is definitely one of the leader. We will see if the name a captain after the tdl.
I think Erie wants this a little more right now.
